This was our favorite new event of 2016. Come join us this year and I promise you won't regret it. A fabulous setting out at the Lake Casitas Recreational Area. The crowd was amazing, and there's a true artisan feel to the whole event. Just awesome!

Yes, the Hollywood & Vines theme continues to resonate as our wine will be featured at the King Vidor Awards ceremony where Academy Award nominee Josh Brolin will be presented with the prestigious King Vidor Award for Excellence in Filmmaking at the 23rd annual San Luis Obispo International Film Festival on Saturday March 18th. Actor Jeff Bridges will be on hand to present the award to Josh Brolin and I'll be on hand to present them both with a nice glass of our Sonoma Coast Chardonnay and Alexander Valley Cab Reserve! No, really! I'll also be speaking at the event earlier in the day talking about film stuff, but at night...we toast!

A cooking lesson, great food, wine, and atmosphere in a historical setting for $40 bucks! Pinch me, I think I've gone to foodie heaven!

"History, BBQ, and Wine...Oh my!!!"

We're excited to announce an opportunity to step back in time for a one-of-a-kind experience at the historical Vail Headquarters!

Gagnon Cellars

Gagnon Cellars - Award winning family owned boutique artisan winery that specializes in small lot, hand crafted wines from the Alexander Valley, Sonoma Coast, and Temecula Valley. After spending more than 25 years in the film business with companies like LucasFilm, Kodak, and Disney, working for some of the biggest blockbuster films of all time, we felt compelled to do something we're just as passionate about, but on a much more intimate scale. From making movies, "one frame at a time", to making wine, "one bottle at a time", this is the story of Gagnon Cellars! Cheers, Gil & Rae Gagnon
